2. Description of Related Art

Environmentally-friendly technique of vehicles is very importanttechnique on which survival of future motor industry is dependent.Vehicle makers are focusing on development of environmentally-friendlyvehicles so as to meet environment and fuel consumption regulations.

Some examples of future vehicle technique are an electric vehicle (EV)and a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) that use electrical energy, anddouble clutch transmission (DCT) that improves efficiency andconvenience.

The DCT includes two clutch devices and a gear train applied to a manualtransmission. The DCT selectively transmits torque input from an engineto two input shafts by using two clutches, changes a speed by using thegear train, and outputs the changed torque.

Such the DCT is used to realize a compact transmission having more thanfive forward speeds. Since two clutches and synchronizing devices arecontrolled by a controller according to the DCT, manual shift maneuveris unnecessary for controlling the DCT. Therefore, the DCT is one typeof automated manual transmissions (AMT).

The DCT, compared with an automatic transmission using planetary gearsets, has excellent power delivery efficiency and change and addition ofcomponents is very easy in the DCT. Therefore, the DCT can meet fuelconsumption regulations and multi-speeds efficiency may be improved.
